The Northwest Campanologist
Even though many events have been happening the last couple of months, there is still more this summer. Our Area 10 Conference, Ringing, Reunions and Remembrances, is July 7-9 at Oregon State University, Corvallis. It is a great opportunity to ring under the batons of two outstanding clinicians as well as soak up a wealth of information through the various classes offered. All the details are in the article below.
Please forward this newsletter to your choir members and to anyone else who would be interested in all the concerts and events. Encourage them to subscribe to the newsletter. Click "Join our mailing list" at the bottom of the left column or click the newsletter link on our website, area10.handbellmusicians.org. With permission, I can also add names and addresses.

Notes from the Chair ...
This month I am finishing up my series on resources that are available to members of Handbell Musicians of America. In April, I discussed our national publication, Overtones. Last month, I talked about the Resource Library. This month I am covering MemberNotes and MemberChats.
MemberNotes and MemberChats are insightful articles and live chats with the movers and shakers of the handbell art form. They cover a wide variety of topics. Think of them as a way to pick the brains of some of the top people in the handbell community. Here is just a taste of some of the options:
MemberNotes:
- Nick Hanson: The Value of Success in Today's Youth Handbell Ensembles
- Kathryn Aspenwall: Connections: Beginning a New Year
- The story behind Mykola Dmytrovych Leontovych's "Carol of the Bells"
- Ivan Boothe: Virtual Handbells: Using Social Media and the Web
- Michael J. Glasgow: Commissioning Insights: Thoughts for Composers and Clients
MemberChats:
- Barbara Brocker: Bell Trees
- Ed Rollins: Chat with the President
- Cara Davis: Malmark Handbell Maintenance
- Kathleen Wissinger: Handbells and Handchimes in Schools
- Bill Mathis: Handbells in Worship
- Ringing the National Anthem at Sporting Events
Like the other member resources I have discussed, the MemberNotes and MemberChats are only available to members of Handbell Musicians of America. They can easily be found by logging in to your account at Handbellmusicians.org and then clicking on the Members Only tab.
HMA is continually trying to find ways to support its membership, and these resources are one way this is being accomplished. If you are not currently a member, you are missing out on some great ways to improve your ringing and/or your choir program. Again, the three I've covered in the past months are:
- Overtones - our organization's periodical newsletter
- Resource Library - collection of articles, etc. to help you expand your knowledge
- MemberNotes and MemberChats - articles and live chats with the movers and shakers
I hope your membership is current so that you can access these wonderful resources. Just writing these articles has reminded me how much information is available to us if we only take the time to look. Happy searching!
PS. If you have not registered for the Area 10 conference July 7-9, there is still time! You don't want to miss out on another opportunity to grow in your skill, work with some great clinicians and fellowship with other ringers. See you in Corvallis!

Reunite with your Handbell Family and Friends this July for a weekend of ringing and workshops. The early bird deadline has passed-BUT we have decided to reduce the "non-early bird" registration fee to $210. Highlights of the weekend include:
- Friday Ensemble Workshop with: Handbells Unlimited!

Housing will be in the Weatherford Hall and taking our meals in Student dinning facilities; by using the student housing and meals your room and board costs will add up to about $50 a day-a bargain compared to hotels. Make you plans now to be part of this exciting weekend with your ringing friends - bring your family, they can explore the Oregon Coast (an hour's drive from Corvallis) while you enrich your ringing skills and reunite with old friends.
This event is sponsored by Handbell Musicians of America.

Handchime Loan Program
Looking for a great way to enhance your music program at your school or church? Area 10 can help. We have multiple sets of handchimes to loan for FREE for a whole year to help you get started.
Each set comes with a collection of music and teaching materials for you to use to build your program. Area 10 will also help you by connecting you with an experienced director in your area to assist you and to answer your questions. With "modern technology", we can even support you with video conferencing so you can actually see and hear the answers to your questions even when there are many miles between us and in-person visits are less practical. We want you to succeed!
